This was fun, using python to access zip files. I based it mostly on #4 with a small twist at the end to print out the final answer. The obvious answer didn’t work – I thought I was looking at challenge 7 but realised after banging my head against the wall for a while that I was still on number 6. What was really annoying was that I had already noticed the correct word whilst fiddling with the code. <\/p>\n
